S02 E01: Crime and Criminality
Episode description
We're back! Season 2 of The Nameless Collective Podcast is here after a long hiatus, and we've got five episodes full of surprises, stories, and a few mysteries. This season, we talk about crime & criminality, and what constitutes criminal behaviour amongst early South Asian settlers in and around Vancouver, Canada. In Episode 1, we look at a book of mugshots, which include Louis Seville, listed as a "Hindoo" in the file, and accused of stealing a purse and $15. We also delve deep into the newspaper archives to piece together stories about South Asians accused of crimes in the early 1900s, and try and fill in the gaps.
